The new year usually forces everyone to look over their lives. Sometimes people loath what they reflect on and other times they smile at what they have accomplished in the previous year. I, personally, applaud my growth in 2017 and I’m super excited for 2018.

New Year’s Goals

If you follow me on FaceBook or Twitter, you know that I am doing a lot of stuff. The new year is filled with the awesomeness that I cannot wait to share with you.

Ambitious Endeavors

As you know, Ambitious Endeavors is the website I use for my writing and entrepreneurial clients. This site houses my coaching, as well as articles to assist women writers & entrepreneurs in their quest to become amazing writers. I am happy to announce that Ambitious Endeavors is taking on guest posts and is beefed up with loads of information to continue to help women writers & entrepreneurs blossom.

There will also be some additions to the site to give readers more of what they need, such as:

New Coaching types to assist a more diverse amount of writers & entrepreneurs

An assortment of live and pre-recorded courses for writers & entrepreneurs to learn or enhance skills

Videos for visual aid and assistance

These are just a few new additions and I will announce more as the year goes on.

New Book

In 2018, I am working on my new book, Journey to the Sky: If the Sky is the Limit, Why Are You Still on the Ground. If you notice, the name of the book is the title and motto of this website. From the advice of an amazing coach, Karin Roest, I decided that writing a book that combined advice to women writers & entrepreneurs with personal stories of my journey was the best thing for me and my audience.

The prospective release for Journey to the Sky is between May and September, depending on its completion. In order to stay on schedule, I have formed a Book Development Team. This team will assist me in completing the book, as well as helping with the word-of-mouth marketing. If you would like a spot on the team, please click here.

Speaking Engagements

I am now available for speaking engagements. For so long, I was deathly afraid of speaking in public due to having massive stage fright. But I realized, the best way to get my message out there is to push past my fear and go for the gusto. Besides, speaking gives me a brand new type of audience to touch and help get where they want to be in their writing and careers.

My first speaking engagement is in February and I couldn’t be more excited. If you have an event and need a speaker, please contact me with the details.

Group Involvement

I have formed two amazing groups. One was started a few years back and had to be revamped in 2017 and the other was created in November of last year.

Ambitious Endeavors: Support Group for Women Writer & Entrepreneurs

The Ambitious Endeavors Support Group is a FaceBook group with women of all different ages, backgrounds, abilities, and locations. The purpose of the group is for women writers & entrepreneurs to feel comfortable about where they are in their careers. They share their experiences and expertise with one another in an effort to grow.

3SF: The Society of Sophisticated & Successful Females

3SF is a sorority-style mastermind group of women entrepreneurs. The purpose of this mastermind is to help women grow in their knowledge, whether they are new to entrepreneurship or experienced. There are weekly meetings through Zoom, a book of the month, and a messenger chat for instant help.

If either one of these groups is of interest to you, please feel free to join either on the links above.

Support

You have supported me for some years now and I have to say, it warms my heart to know so many of you root for my success. As the year commences, I will continue to push myself and my business to new heights. It is my hope that you will continue on the ride with me. I could not do what I do without you. There are several ways to show your love and support.

Patreon

Patreon is a wonderful site that allows supporters to fund the projects of those they support. Your contribution will help me to create more in a shorter time. And you aren’t just giving me monetary support. You get some pretty cool stuff in return. Click here to find out more.

Social Media

I would love for you to follow me on social media, as well as like my FaceBook pages. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, and LinkedIn. I’m everywhere and appreciate anyone who follows me.

Share & Comment

The other way to show your support is to share and comment as much as much as you can. The more people who know about me and what I’m doing, the more people I can touch. And I don’t doubt for a minute that you will help me do that.

I know there is a lot here, but I never dream small. Honestly, there are a few things that I haven’t divulged to you in an effort to be secretive. But because you are so amazing, you will find out soon enough. Until then, follow your dreams and be unstoppable.

I would like to believe I’m a pretty smart cookie when it comes to investing in me. Not trying to brag. Just being honest.

In my business and writing, I plan accordingly and use the best ideas to move forward. Within that plan, I use several different services and products to work more efficiently – working smarter, not harder.

My Sincerest Thank You

Over the past 8 years, you have been there for me. Through my career ups and downs, you have shown me a level of support that always kept me going. It’s because of you I push forward in this crazy world of business and writing. You make me feel like I can do anything and for that, I am truly grateful.

An Opportunity For You

I see you commenting and liking my social media updates on my work, Ambitious Endeavors, and I Mean Really Dude. I can tell that you want to see me succeed and now there is a perfect way for you to be part of it all. I’ve teamed up with Patreon to help me get you involved as I move forward in my goals.

What Does This Mean

Patreon makes it easy for you to support me with different levels of contributions. These contributions will then be used to help in getting an assistant and hiring writers. Also, It will help with the day-to-day responsibilities I have while running multiple websites and putting out products/services that benefit people just like you.

What Do You Get Out Of It

I hope you didn’t think I was asking for your contribution without giving you a little something in return. Come on, you know me better than that. For each level of contributions, there are definitely some cool perks. Rewards for your patronage include:
